A Drone's View of Manhattan's Snowy, Deserted Streets

The city gets eerily quiet when a driving ban is in effect.

A traffic ban in Upper Manhattan during this week's snowstorm gave drone user JBH the chance to get an eerie view of the scenery around Grant's Tomb at 125th and Broadway. The results are quite beautiful—a haunting, snow-covered scene with only a cab and a cop car on the streets.

The video is a frozen take on the trend of urban drone scenery footage, which we can 100 percent get behind. Take, for instance, this great montage of the five boroughs.
